The Dropkick Murphys put their spin on Woody Guthrie lyrics in new album
A new album from Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys drops on Friday. “This Machine Still Kills Fascists” takes its name from a phrase American singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie once had painted on his guitars.
It’s not the only way the band incorporates Woody Guthrie into their new album: They also take a personal spin on some of his previously unreleased songs.
During the making of the album, frontman Ken Casey and the band met with Guthrie’s daughter, Nora, and her son, Cole. Originally, Casey worried Guthrie’s family would reject every idea the band had.
“[Nora] had this real trust in us with what we've done with the lyrics,” Casey says. “All along we did have the plan to do a full album of his unpublished lyrics because you feel like you're really helping to bring some history to light because he's got hundreds of pages … He probably had music to them, but nobody knows what it was because he never recorded it.”
